This is what Instagram’s upcoming Twitter competitor looks like

Meta says people want a communications platform that’s “sanely run.”

Here’s everything we know about it so far:

  • It will use ActivityPub.
  • It will be a side app of Instagram.
  • It will most likely be called Threads.
  • Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
  • There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won’t transfer over automatically).

What do you think?

    I said this on Mastodon last night, but I just don’t see a way this works out in Meta’s favor. They can’t “take over” or run Fediverse out of business, and any instance worth being on is going to block them immediately, and it’s going to let people know about Fedi who might not otherwise have known about it. What is the plan here exactly?
